[QUOTE=Adam Wartell]Jim, 

Thanks for the outside shots!  She looks MUCH better (and Redder) in the sunlight!

So, have you done anything to the engine, interior or weatherstripping/t-tops yet?  
If so, what have you done?
If not, do you have plans for any of those areas? What are the plans?


[/QUOTE]
Adam I obtained an NOS steering wheel, Beautifull original door panels, new armrest, center armrest,NOS emblems and door handles,and a repro carpet set . The interior will be stunning done !!! I adjusted the Glass tops that I am going to keep on the car. All of the other parts were painted seperately. The roofs off and hood off for No paint line in the jambs. I am going with the New OEM Latex door weatherstrips. I will keep You posted. Jim

I got a couple of pics from Jim today.

He said he's still got some things to do, but should be done soon.

I hope he paints the bumperettes black, they just don't look right otherwise. It is really looking good!
